Setting the state of a menuitem on the fly

How can I set the enabled/disabled state of a menuitem depending upon current conditions?

For example:

Suppose I have a menu item called "Delete selected item"

If there are no items selected then I would like the menu option to be greyed out (disabled)

Alternatively if there is a selected item then I would like this menu option to be enabled.

How do I do this?

Many thanks in advance

Jeff

You might find the JavaDocs good for getting answers 'on the fly'
